9. Conservative Republicans

Democrats can work with conservatives Republicans like Rick Wilson, people who will speak truth to power at great personal and professional risk.

Adhering to principles of justice and loyalty to American democracy, they are willing to break away from the tribal mentality of Trump supporters and radical ideologues in general.

Having them feel comfortable among Democrats, who support the same principles of justice and loyalty, builds a bond that isolates "the base". Sadly, when cornered, "the base" will likely launch the most desperate attempts to escape culpability.

So what to do? Reasonable people must attack and expose Fox News. Sure, all the others are just as destructive to American democracy. But Fox is the Goliath. So, like the story, let each of us hurl a rock at Fox News until it goes down.

Oh yeah. And bring back the Fairness Doctrine.
